CHICAGO — A woman in a Chicago Cubs jersey climbed onto a man’s shoulders to pose for — what else? — a selfie in front of the cherry-red marquee at Wrigley Field, the second-oldest ballpark in the major leagues.

Several local cross country runners have earned a trip to next Saturday's state championship meet in Rio Rancho.

The Robertson girls finished second in the District 2-4A meet Saturday morning at San Ildefonso Pueblo and advance to state by virtue of the top-three team finish. Makayla Quintana ran third individually to pace RHS.

When the powers that be in the New Mexico Activities Association decided to expand District 2-4A effective this season, they did Las Vegas’ teams no favors.

That’s especially true in a sport like cross country. Robertson’s girls and West Las Vegas’ boys have a solid shot at qualifying for state out of Saturday morning’s district meet, but they’ll have to battle to make it against the likes of Pojoaque Valley, St. Mike’s and Taos — state contenders all.
